Charlie taught me I deserved to be loved. Will I be brave enough to claim him as mine?
Blurb
Temporarily separated while Charlie is on tour, my love for him grows. He is my future—or he will be, once we’ve made our relationship public.
Charlie has been patient—probably too patient—while I’ve been struggling to get over my fear that history will repeat itself. An unforgiving media destroyed my career, I don’t want the same thing to happen to the man I love.
Telling the world is one of many obstacles we have to navigate. The only thing I’m sure of is that we’ll find our way together.
Unashamedly Us is the fourth book in Offbeat Shifters, an m/m paranormal romance series with a continuing storyline. The series is best read in order, however Charlie and Austin’s story begins in book 3, Unapologetically Me. This book includes a monkey shifter who has to face his fears, an arctic fox shifter who will always stand up for himself, extended families, steadfast friends, lots of children, and a HEA ending for the main characters. There are pregnancy and birth scenes in this book.
“Did you find the present I left for you?” Charlie asked, breaking into my thoughts.
I guessed he was changing the subject as I’d failed to say anything. “Present?”
He giggled. “Yeah, don’t you open your freezer?”
“Not often,” I admitted. I put my wine down and, phone in hand, went through to the kitchen.
“Top compartment,” Charlie said at the exact moment I opened the freezer door.
I obeyed and discovered three big bags that definitely hadn’t been there the last time I’d looked. I opened one and found several small balls of cookie dough.
“Cookies?”
“Yeah. Two batches of chocolate chip and one of double chocolate chip. You can bake them from frozen. I’ve left you instructions in your tea towel drawer.”
I shut the freezer and went to the drawer, opening it and finding an envelope with my name on it. I put the phone down on the counter and switched the speaker mode on before opening the envelope. The first thing was the cookie instructions along with a brief message:
You should be able to make a small batch every week until I come home.
Love, Charlie.
“Charlie…” I whispered, too choked up to say anything else.
“There’s more,” he said.
So there was. The next thing was instructions for baking a cake, titled ‘Charlie’s Fabulous Cake Recipe’.
“Cake?” I questioned.
“Yeah, so you can bake a cake for Colby and Jasper’s adoption party. You’ll be earning that Granddad of the Year award in no time.”
